Thomas Rork Scott Ferguson (10 February 1884 – 4 March 1955) was a Liberal party member of the Canadian House of Commons. He was born in Peterborough County, Ontario and became a farmer.

Ferguson attended high school at Norwood. In 1934, Ferguson was a regional reeve of Dummer and Asphodel Townships. He also became a Peterborough County Warden in that year.[2]
